Playing the role of the quirky, "Professor Philip Brainard", Flubber is a remake of the 1961 film, The Absent-Minded Professor.

1.Bicentennial Man(1999)

A science fiction comedy drama, Bicentennial Man sees Williams take on the role of a robot named "Andrew".

A character from the beginning to the very end, Robin Williams' legacy seems quite indicative of the way he lived his life. A bit odd and eccentric, he never sought to please the world, rather, worked to gain laughs from those who had to struggle to find humor in their darkest hours of life. His legacy is a laundry list of one-of-a-kind characters, that will never be duplicated. His estate has a net worth of $50 million and it doesn't seem that he will make an astronomical amount of wealth posthumously as he took steps to prevent his likeness from being profited from, after death. Either way, those movies, and shows will never die and Mr. Williams will hold a place in the hearts of many, forever.
